Suhaad Abu Jarad is comforted after fainting while mourning the death of her son, police officer Yasser Abu Jarad, 28, who was killed on Sunday, injuring 16 others when an Israeli artillery fired the northern town of Beit Hanoun, Gaza Strip, April 9, 2006. Israel has stepped up their attacks in response to Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza causing up to 15 deaths ovr the past few days alone. Both the USA and the European Union (EU) annouced that they are cutting off direct finanical aid to Hamas until it renounces violence and recognizes Israel. According to the UN Relief and Works Agency, a creeping humanitarian disaster is overwhelming the Palestinian people due to prolonged Israeli policies of systematic closures, blockades and continued violence.
